Lunar orbit position on 1 July 2049 Thursday 12:00 UTC

True anomaly ∠162.9°

This lunation true anomaly is ∠162.9°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠185.8°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
